Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

S.H.I.E.L.D. your eyes if you don’t want to be spoiled, because we’ve got some cool info about Joss Whedon‘s forthcoming project.

TVLine has obtained casting details regarding the ABC pilot, which is helmed by the Avengers writer/director and based on a peacekeeping group that appeared in both the summer blockbuster and various Marvel comics.
The live-action pilot’s title is an acronym for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, a covert organization run by Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury in the movie.

Buffy creator Whedon is tentatively set to direct the pilot; he’s also slated to write the series with his brother Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen.

SKYE | This late-20s woman sounds like a dream: fun, smart, caring and confident – with an ability to get the upper hand by using her wit and charm.

AGENT GRANT WARD | Quite the physical specimen and “cool under fire,” he sometimes botches interpersonal relations. He’s a quiet one with a bit of a temper, but he’s the kind of guy that grows on you.

AGENT ALTHEA RICE | Also known as “The Calvary,” this hard-core soldier has crazy skills when it comes to weapons and being a pilot. But her experiences have left her very quiet and a little damaged.

AGENT LEO FITZ and AGENT JEMMA SIMMONS | These two came through training together and still choose to spend most of their time in each other’s company. Their sibling-like relationship is reinforced by their shared nerd tendencies – she deals with biology and chemistry, he’s a whiz at the technical side of weaponry.

| It’s early yet, as this Marvel-ous pilot continues with casting, but four words out of ABC president Paul Lee’s mouth are perhaps all you need to hear. “It’s very Joss Whedon,” Lee told TVLine at the Saban Free Clinic Gala (at which he was honored). As such, “We’re optimistic, because Joss is a genius and we love the idea and we love what we’ve seen,” Lee added. “But it’s early days, and it’s a long way to go between now and a successful series. But we are very excited about it.

By the look of things online, ABC just can’t quite decide what to name its new Joss Whedon quasi-superhero action show.

First the title was S.H.I.E.L.D. And everybody was okay with that.

Then ABC revealed a new pilot title to advertisers via its ad sales website a couple weeks ago: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. We heard that the change was due to a potential legal conflict with FX’s former cop series The Shield. But adding the Marvel studio name struck some (okay, us too) as kind of unnecessarily corporate-y. In any case, ABC would not confirm the new title nor the reason for the apparent change.

Now ABC has quietly changed the show’s official Facebook page from S.H.I.E.L.D. to … Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Ah-ha! More confirmation it’s now Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Yet the switch had some fans wondering if the studio branding was now going bye-bye. But no, we’re hearing “Marvel’s” will likely remain a part of the title regardless of what the social networking page says (and that, once again, the title may still change). So it’s all probably, as Whedon might say, much ado about nothing.

S.H.I.E.L.D. - Joss Whedon Interview
With less than three weeks to go until ABC unveils its 2013-14 TV line-up at its May 14 Upfront presentation, questions still surround Joss Whedon‘s pilot about the agents of Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. — which internally at the network is currently dubbed Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Question No. 1: Why the ongoing name change? “I think it had to do with legal things,” Whedon told TVLine at Wednesday night’s Iron Man 3 premiere event in Los Angeles. Alluding to a similarly named series that put FX on the map, he quipped: “Ask Michael Chiklis, because I think it’s his fault.”

NATALIE: "He's a Skrull," Clark Gregg jokes. (Don't worry, he's not really a Skrull!) But Gregg promises the reveal will be realistic and won't undermine the integrity of The Avengers. In my very humble comic-book-nerd opinion, I would put money on Coulson being a Life Model Decoy. (#CoulsonLivesLMD. Tweet it now before everyone does come September.)
